it is strange they made MoS so big, but maybe they are changing the height of all their figures for future releases.

It doesnt bother me at all since I display 1 per shelf and the MoS will all be in the same case.

Hmm? This reminds me of what NECA did with their 18" horror figures years ago. They made a Pinhead from Hellraiser in that scale and later made a Chatterer Cenobite. The Chatterer was taller than Pinhead which was not the case (Or appearance at least) in the films. The other 18" figure releases were also around Chatterer's size at that time too. Pinhead looked small in a collection.

Time will tell with future HT releases. I just hope they keep the scales consistent if they expand on their already existing toy lines. (Avengers, etc.) :dunno

I don't know, in this pic it sure looks like there is some type of pipping on both sides of where the cape is connected at the neck. Maybe it's accurate to the movie, but didn't scale down so well.

I wish they would have molded the "S" shield a bit higher to the neck line.

It is positioned a little low compared to the movie stills, but....

So far it's looking great in these "in-hand" shots....
My only minor nit is what it's been since we first saw the proto...the cape and boots are too candy-red. Heck, if they had gone for the burgundy they used for Jor-El...it would've been closer.

Not a deal-killer by any stretch...it looks great!

Maybe HTs used the new Vader body for Cavill Supes :lol

So safe to say this figure is doing nothing but standing with his arms at his side for the most part right?

No there are some pics with him in a flying pose. I believe it was HT facebook page....

Based on the photo of Cavill, it looks to me like the issue isn't that the S is too low on the HT, but that his collar opening is too high and close around his neck. I guess this is better than the alternative. To correct it to look more like the movie costume, a skilled person just has to neatly take cut away some of the excess material...difficult to do right, sure, but much more likely to be pulled off without unsightly damage than adjusting the S higher.

When I get mine I'm going to stand him next to the HT's P1 and SS Darth Vader, then I'll see how big the Cavill body really is. :lecture
